Note: If you are a beginner, then we highly suggest doing our Guided tour as this is Self-Guided.

There are two sets of concrete cannons, a large anchor, and a ballast pile replicating a shipwreck common in these waters many years ago. The trial was started in 1998 & took 4 years to complete. The shallow reef trail varies from 8 - 16 feet and is 1 of 3 Reef Systems that host a wide variety of tropical sea life you may see:

Large Sea Turtles Blue Tang Parrotfish French Angels Spotted Scorpionfish
Caribbean Spiny Lobster Doctorfish Tarpon Nurse Sharks Spotted Goatfish
Peacock Flounder Barracuda Eels Manta Rays Trumpet Fish
Blue-Headed Wrasse Eagle Rays Octopus Cuttlefish Sergeant Majors

Our original Tour was created over 10 years ago to complement the 1st Bio rock Project in the USA: The Bio rock Project utilized a low-level electric current from 2 solar-powered buoys to help corals grow much faster than they would in a natural environment while also helping to create vital new underwater habitat for tropical fish, corals, and other species. Unfortunately, the project was abandoned, but thanks to our loyal Guides we have evolved and continued showing off the rich history and beauty of this awesome reef system.

BONUS: Guest may choose to Kayak or Paddle Board for the remainder of the return date for only an additional $12/pp.

You may float attached to your board or we will moor the boards together and begin a “drift dive” over gorgeous multicolored corals and wide variety of marine life!

Our Private Tour (1 - 2 People) is perfect for First Timers to learn Water Bike techniques. A Guide will teach you how to properly use a water bike while enjoying the sights and sounds of our calm Fort Lauderdale Waterways. We are surrounded by a lush tropical setting with more Palm Trees then you will be able to name that often host Great Egrets, Blue Heron, Green Heron, Ibis, and our ever so popular Iguanas. The Mangroves nearby make a great habitat for Seasonal Manatee as well as tons of marine life that pass our river front showroom daily. Our Middle River location is much calmer then the Intracoastal areas or high boat traffic areas like George English Park that can make it difficult for learning which is the primary focus of our Tour. Our experienced Guide will monitor your biking techniques and advice you on improvements to make learning fun and easy as we cruise around the beautiful landscapes of Island City. Along with the added safety instructions, your Guide will also take pictures for your memories for you to share with your friends, family, and loved ones.
